***NOW SHIPPING*** A.W.E. Tuning DV1 Diverter Valve

[Alex/AWE]

Hi Everyone,

We've come up with a new, lower priced solution for the all too common problem of failed stock diverter valves.

Our new AWE Tuning DV1 Diverter Valve is the by-product of some extensive power development we've been doing on late model Porsches. DV failure on some of these models has been 100% absent.

Even when pushed to beyond 750hp, and no matter the climate or operating environment, we've yet to see one of these Porsche DVs fail.

It was a lot of leg work, but we were able to get exclusive access to this part, as it is normally not available separately from the turbo unit.

Using some clever and simple companion parts, we're excited to be able to offer this economical yet durable solution to the chronic torn DV issue.

No permanent modifications are required for install and it is designed as a serviceable and cheaper alternative to the Bailey Motorsport DV30. The Bailey Motorsport DV30 comes with a Lifetime Warranty vs the shorter 6 month warranty of this unit, hence the lower price.

Our DV1 Diverter Valve is a vacuum actuated Diaphragm Type Diverter Valve, as opposed to the Piston Type Valve manufactured by Bailey. Both designs have proven to be extremely reliable in street, track and dyno testing.


Some highlights:

Direct 1/2 hour bolt on with no permanent modifications to vehicle

Very similar response time to the OEM DV valve.

Extensively street, track, and dyno tested on multiple cars

Priced at $259.90 for a complete set of two DV1s for the 2.7T.




In stock, and ready to ship!

How does the response time compare to other aftermarket valves like the Bailey on your stage 3 setups?

We haven't done testing on our stage 3 setups, but response time for the valve will be very similar to the stock and Bailey valves. The response times for each are within milliseconds of each other.

so why should we use these over 710n's if the response time is "within milliseconds of each other"

Good Point!

i guess if you need new ones get these instead

[SLC_S4]

i guess if you need new ones get these instead

I think his point was why get these when you can just get 710n's, if they perform the same and are cheaper.

[alias747]

I never understood why people shell out so much money for diverter valves when the cheap 710n's have been tried and true, even on many stage 3 cars. Call me cheap but why waste money when you can save it?

710's are all plastic. these look more rugged.

i noticed a difference in boost response when going from 710n's to the aftermarket valves i have now, so its worth it imo

[will175]

^^^but yours is some nice looking ones.

[MacDaddy]

that thing looks like it came out of a dishwasher, i'd just get some OEM diverter valves for a RS6 for less monies.

[S4-ORCE]

710N. That is all

[will175]

^^Thats what I got, I also have a set of RFL BOVs never put them in though. I have heard good things about DV1 from AWE, bump for them giving us some options to spend more money.

[1FASTB6S4]

lol atleast make a nice cover for it, it looks really cheap.

[ThirdStrike]

id rather not get banned again so ill keep my thoughts to myself.

[1FASTB6S4]

i like everything from awe except their dv

Durability.

These valves have been tested to 750+ hp and have yet to fail. They will take any kind of abuse you can throw at them.

Also, not that you would need to, but our valve can be disassembled very easily by just unscrewing three bolts.

We could have painted the cover, designed a new one and made it in our CNC machine or we could have given it new bolts that were more appealing to the eye, but this would have increased the price of the DV1 until it was very close to the Bailey DV which we did not want. While it won't win any prizes for the sexiest item in your engine bay, it isn't what I would call ugly.

What happened to valuing function over form?

[Alex/AWE]

I have gotten quite a few messages asking questions about our new DV1 Diverter Valve. Thought I would share a few of the more common/interesting ones along with the answers to them.

How does it sound compared to the stock DV?

Our DV1 will sound very similar to stock.

Have you experienced any honking/fluttering issues?

We have not experienced any of these issues in our testing. The honking of other aftermarket and OEM DVs concerned us too, so we did extensive testing of this valve on several platforms with no issues.

Is it serviceable?

The DV1 is 100% maintence free. It does not need any lubrication or servicing like some other DV Kits on the market. It is a true plug, play and forget piece.

Should you need to disassemble the DV1 for any reason, you can do so by removing it from your car and simply unscrewing the 3 bolts. When you are done, just make sure the components inside are alligned and screw the 3 bolts back on.

How much are rebuild kits?

If needed, rebuild kits can be purchased for approx~ $50.00. We have not seen one of these valves fail, so at this time we do not anticipate the need for a rebuild kit, however if a customer does need one they will be available.


These are just some of the more common questions I've been asked. If you have any others, please feel free to ask.

my mom being an artist took me to alot of galleries and design stores as a kid, i don't know what the other guys story is.

Actually, the DV would look way better if it was all black instead of being black and white, i think sales would pick up if the next batch was all black, appearances do alot for the mind of the consumer.

yeah it reminds me of the water level switch i just replaced in my washing machine.

[Alex/AWE]

The DV1 has been a very popular item. Here are two about to be packaged up and sent out to customers.




Our Shipping Department just received 30 additional diverter valve housings from the anodizing company. I was able to photograph these before they were assembled into complete DV1 Kits.

Wait wait wait, so going by those pictures, If I purchase these DVs, I get a free blow pop at no extra charge?

I think if you guys have so much confidents in the awe dv1. You guys should put lifetime warranty on it. Maybe there will be alot of people buying them hell ill buy them if you can guarantee they wont fail and back it up with a lifetime warranty. Just my 2cent GL with the sell.

[Boosted-S4]

has anyone used the turbosmart kompact dv's??

When pricing any product, you must take into account the warranty offered. Sometimes you pay more for the warranty then the product itself. Our 6 month warranty is competitive for valves at this price level.

If you are truly concerned about the warranty, spend another $35 for the Bailey unit and you can get a lifetime warranty.

We include a blow pop with every purchase.
